I'm thinking of starting an apprenticeship with the IBEW and I'm curious if anyone in here has experience with the trades and trade union.

    Usually you get about an hour or two notice. A lot of people who go the fake pee leave a bottle in their car with heat pads so they are ready to go.

    For trades jobs, how much you get tested is a bit of a crapshoot. The big construction unions usually require random testing (IBEW definitely). Beyond that, the place you work for a project might require pre-site tests and randoms. Anything in chemical industry, utilities, or oil and gas definitely will, and it's hair testing so you have to abstain completely. Other stuff, less likely.
